Was not M School
1) It is certified and you can't certify a M school car
2) It has the 20" wheels and they use the 19s there

As noted, probably an exec car with the carbon bits - I don't think they certify the cars that get in the hands of reviewers - but who knows.

Almost every "demo car" from that year with Competition package had the 20" wheels (BMW wanted to prove they could screw up the ride ).

Since it has 19s - it was an exec car. No way to know for sure, but as noted, I don't think there was one review with a competition package with 19" wheels.
How do you know it had 19"? The webpage says it has 20" 666 competition wheels, but maybe I missed something.

Even if it were a demo car, is there anything I should be concerned about before pulling the trigger? Planning to have the car long-term so I want to make sure this is the right car (I'm comfortable with the spec and price)?

Thanks for your insight!

I corrected that post - you are fast. Got confused with another person here asking the same questions.

The car is certified, that should give you the piece of mind. You could/should also have the car inspected. There might be a charge for that but they can uncover lots of stuff that way too
